Our take on the Scarpa Rapid XT GTX Approach Shoes
The Scarpa Rapid XT GTX is a waterproof approach shoe built for scrambling and fast hiking on mixed terrain. A Gore-Tex lining keeps feet dry while a suede, leather and synthetic upper with TPU reinforcement resists abrasion on rock. The EVA foam midsole with an Ortholite insole cushions long approaches, and the rubber outsole with studs grips dirt and rock. It sits between lighter trail shoes and stiffer mountaineering boots, so it suits climbers and hikers who want one shoe for the walk-in and easy rock.
